Northwest Louisiana received some good news last week when Shreveport resident W. Clinton "Bubba" Rasberry was selected by the Louisiana Board of Regents to serve a second year as board chairman.

During Rasberry's tenure last year, our area colleges celebrated some substantive and long-sought approvals for new programs. In May, Louisiana State University at Shreveport received approval to offer its first doctorate, a doctorate of education, and since the approval last summer, more than 250 residents have begun the application process for the program.
